Fantome, have you seen the presentation? It's available online
here.
Contrary to The Australian's beat up there is no suggestion whatsoever of "major failures to agree among the many "experts"". That is simply never raised. The presentation generally focuses on the high levels of collaboration and cooperation between all the players involved in the search; the Joint Agency Coordination Centre, the Australian Maritime Safety Authority, the Defence Science and Technology Organisation and the ATSB together with the UK AAIB, the US NTSB, the French BEA, Boeing, Thales, Inmarsat and the Malaysian and Chinese governments.
As for the quote attributed to Dr Gordon, he was speaking quite specifically about the interpretation of the Burst Timing Offset and Burst Frequency Offset from the Inmarsat satellite metadata and the inability to predict an exact location for the airplane from it due to uncertainties, not the investigation per se, when he said;
A key thing to remember is that there's lots of uncertainty feeding into this, it's um inherently um, there's lots of uncertainty, you're never going to end up with an X marks the spot.
He then went on to describe the validation and calibration exercises that were performed using the metadata from 9M-MRO's previous flights and he explained the extensive public and targeted peer review process that all of the DSTG's work on the matter was subjected to.
My advise is to fact check anything that appears in The Australian with regards to MH370. Oh, and just by the bye, that "exclusive" report covers an event that was held nearly two weeks ago, the record of which is freely available in the public domain; how that constitutes an "exclusive" is anyone's guess.
